Correct posting format

Correct posting format

New to the list (newly returned actually).

I want to get off on the right foot with correct posting format. I can figure out bottom posting and proper quoting in the various gmail phone clients. But can't find a setting to turn off HTML format for this list.

Do you mean you can't find how to turn off html in your email client?
If so then unless you tell us what client you are using then it is
difficult to answer. However I see that you have a gmail address, so
if you are using the gmail web interface then in the window where you
enter the email text, at the bottom next to the waste bin there are
three vertical dots. Click that and select Plain Text mode.

Playing around with my gmail account - from the phone I do not see a
way to do so.
You can find many forums talking about this going back to 2009.
Apparently google
doesnt want to address this.

Thanks Colin, Wade was correct I was referring to an android phone
client. But I suppose I can use the web client and try and remember
each post. When I was a member before, I connected via Thunderbird
and could set preferences per email address as to how to deliver,
including both text and bottom post.

Thanks,
My question was not specific enough. I'm using gmail and was
specifically interested in web clients and android phone clients since
that is where I read this address.

If you are on your phone and log into gmail through a browser, or at
least through Firefox as that is what I tested with, or you are in a
pc based browser, bottom right of the window by the Trash can
are three dots. Click the three dots can click Plain Text Mode.
If you are using the app on your phone, you cant do it. If you login
through the browser and it defaults to mobile, remove the "m"
from the url or find the text that says - desktop version.

OK.. I was wrong.
I was writing it as I was doing it and I thought it was working but
it was not. On your phone, on the desktop vs or the app, you cant
select Plain Text. It tried to load the "new" gmail look but then went
to the basic html site over and over when I tried to send. Sorry
for telling you wrong.
